PROJECTS
Character Research Project
Professor Gwyn Davies
Write a 4 page (1,200-word) paper describing the character you will be ‘playing’ in the course of the semester.
This project is meant to get you firmly embedded in your role at the earliest opportunity. ALL your responses in the game should reflect your character’s opinion and NOT your own and this exercise is intended to get EVERYONE thinking in greater depth about their individual roles, their motivations and pressure points. You need to do your own background research into the issues that you confront in this paper. Do not simply ‘emote’ your character – empty rhetoric and ‘feelings’ expressed without any solid evidence to back them will be treated as posturing and hot air and will be graded accordingly!
Box Portrait Project
Professor John Bailly
You are to create a scupltural portrait in a box format. The portrait must be that of the character that you will be playing in the Reacting to the Past game, Rousseau, Burke, and Revolution in France, 1791 by Marc C. Carnes and Gary Kates.
